The selection of the piece of ground on which the Slate Fair will bo held next September, was nWle by the Executivo Commiltee, when in session iu this city on Thursday last. The grounds selected, south west, of Putnam, known as " Camp Uoddard," is well adapted to such purposes pronounced by .some of the coinmitico to be equal to any spot on which Ihe State Fair bus ever -been held in Ohio. The means of access will be by the road through Putnam, the road south from the west end of the upper bridge, the road by the present county fair grounds, anil by railroad to a point a short distance from the grounds. In this connection it may not be amiss to say that application has been made to the Board of Public orks, to have the present draw bridges over the canal ut this place constructed wilh double tracks. This ought to have been done at first, as much inconvenience is often experienced for want of another track. But as the bridges now need thorough repairing, or renovating, it is deemed a proper time to have the annoyance or nuisance, removed. We hope this matter will be pressed upon the attention of those having it in charge, until the evil is remedied; nut merely for the convenience of the crowd at the fair in September, but for the accommodation of the citizens generally, not a few of whom know the annoyance they have been subjected to on market days, and on every pub-lio ocoasioB '" """ilfaiBttT'i ri'rr "The Rights of the State and ihe Sovereignly of the People." SPEECH OF ilALlMI LEETE, Of Lawrence County, In the House of Representatives of the State of Ohio, February 14th, 1850. The following preamble and joint resolutions being under consideration: Whereas, The government of the people of the United States is two fold, State and Federal, the powers and limitations of each being defined by written constitutions; tlieseveral Slates having reserved to themselves resjicrt-Ivoly the solo right of sovereign eontnd over all question's relating to their own internal policy nnd domestic interests: And Whereas, The Judicial branch of ths Federal Government has assumed an unwarrantable jurisdiction nnd control over certain provisionsof the Constitution of this State, and the laws made in pursuance thereof, relating to the revenues of the Stnte, whereby the Supreme Court of the United States assumed to revise the adjudicai ions of the supreme t;ourt or tins state; and also, trie. Judges ol the District Courts of the United States, in this State, are iu the habit of obstructing ttie collection of the State revenues, as to an extensive class of proierty within the State, l,y injunctions U)on our revenue oflicers, restraining them in the performance of important duties; And Whereas, The lile tenure of oilice is repugnant to the spirit and fundamental principles of Republican government, w hereby all public oflicers are held responsible by the people, for a faithful and honest discharge of their duties; then-fore, llnolral by the General Amrmbly of the Stale of Ohio, That in their judgmeut, neither theSupVeme Court of the United States, or any other Federal tribunal bus the power to revise the judgment of a Stato Court as to the construction of a statute of any State, or the compatibility of such statute with the Constitution of the State. 2. That our Senators in Congress bo and are hereby instructed, and our Representative rfiUfsted, to bring before Congress, at an early period, and urge the passage of, a proportion to be made to the several Slates to so amend the Constitution of the United States as to secure tothe people of each judicial circuit the election of theJndgeof the Supreme Court or the United States therefor, and to the lieoiile of each judicial district, the United States District judge therefor, and that said Judges bu elected for a term not exceeding nine years. 3. That a committee or three members or this House, ami on the part of the Senate, be nniiointcd to mnkcand publish an address to the peopio of the United Stateson the subject of the foregoing prenmble and resolutions, and to bring the proposition therein contained U'fore the Leg islatures of I he several states for consideration. 4. That the Governor of this Slate heand Is hereby re- quested to forward copies of said preamble and resolutions loeacll ncuaior ami mi'moer 01 uongrcss rrom nils aiaie, and to the Governors of the several States respectively. Mr. Lecte snid : Mr. Speaker As the author of these resolu tions, I teel called upon to urge some consider tinns why they should be adopted, and will briefly consider the character and functions of the judicial branch of the federal Government. Its umimtteil powers, Us innovations upon the riirhts of the people of tho whole country, its aggressions upon the Constitution and laws of the Slate ot Ulno, ami the means or redress, in order to discover the powers and duties respect ively of the two systems of government, under which we live, it will be necessary to take e momentary glance at our federative system. When the thirteen colonies, separately clinr teredby a succession of British Kings, assunud to themselves, respectively, tho transcenditnt powers of sovereignty, they were independent or each oiner, nnu like so many separate and dislinct nations. During the Revolution each sustained its own troops. They wero equal co-sovereignties. It is trae thev had united to gether in what was known as a Federal League, tor purposes ot consultation and concert of notion. But it was not in the power of the Con' federacy tocompel,orbind any oneof itsmeinhbrs to do, or lo abstain from the performance of any particular act. ling League, however, hail suf ficient force to carry the people of the Colonics through a period of revolution and reformation. When the independence of all the Colonies bud been at last established and recogniied by the lending powers of the world, the statesmen of that period deemed it necessary that a new fed eration should be created, having some general and yet specifio powers to supervise the rela tions between the people and foreign powers, and also to preserve domestio tranquility. Ac cordingly the several independent and sovereign nations appointed delegates lo frame and adjust a Federal League. They met In Convention at rhiladelphia in 17e'J. That Convention was composed of the principal statesmen in all the States. Their labors resulted iu the formation of that f'e'lerul compact known as the Constitution of tho United States. The legislators of 178'J wero imbued with the great ideas that called this (Jovernment into being. It was an experiment, but those who entered upon it, were not afraid of new experiments when founded on the principles of right, and approved by the sober convictions of reason. They were aware that all that wus valuable in life, the achievements of scionce and tho discoveries in art were but the varied results of this distinguishing attribute of man. Tboy were bold innovators, not afraid to act. Iheir work is now before the world, not in the embryo form of an ill-conceived and doubtful experiment, but in the beautiful, grand maturity of established fact attested by more than sixty years of practical experience, and witnessed throughout its progress by an admiring world. Palriotic, great and good as the men of 1789 unquestionably were, they did not, and could not cast the full horoscope. In the brightest moments of their patriotic hopes they did not look ;o an extension of the confederacy, over the then unknown regions to the westward of the Mississippi; they did not contemplate the rise of Anglo American Empire along the shores of the Pacific and around tho mouths of the great Father of waters, and southward to the Rio Grande. They made a confederacy adapted to the thirteen colonics, and to the six States that might be formed out of the then North-western Territory. They delegated to the Federal Government, or compact, authority to do certain things; prohibited the several Slates from doing certain things; and, as they believed, created a federal compact possessed of certain definite, limited powers, that were expressly defined and limited by the very terms of the compact itself. Among the powers imparted by the people to the Federation, were those of declaring war, making peace, raising and supporting armies and navies, regulating commerce with foreign nations, establishing a currency and regulating its value, and sundry other lesser powers, but these are t he chief or principal. All powers not given to the federal compact, were reserved respectively to the States or to the people. The power to establish a eurrency, and to regulate its value, was deemed a power appertaining to sovereignty that the uiouey or currency of a country ought to be uniform in its value, and that, therefore, this power the several Slates should surrender to the confederacy at large. This they did in the most unqualified terms: The powers of the Federal Government were distributed into three general divisions: Executive, Legislative and Judicial. The Executive and the Legislative, received the principal share of uttenlion, in the Convention as well as before the Legislatures of the several Slates; but thero were, even then, those who foresaw the dangerous tendency of the powers conferred upon the Federal Judiciary, und who went so fur us to predict that it would become an abtolute sovereignty over the States and the people. In support of this affirmation, let me for a few moments call your attention to the debates in the several States on the third article of the fedoral compact, while the question of its adoption or rejection was pending before them: It is known that, there were two plans of government proposed in the Convention, differing very materially from each other. The plan proposed by Mr. Hamilton, would have created an elective monarchy. Those who were jealous of power and centralization were in the majority and finally agreed upon the plan adopted. The provision relating to the Judiciary did not seem to give so much concern to tho framers of the instrument, as the other provisions fixing the powers of Congress and the executive. But the real statesmen of that age of creativo genius, saw clearly, that the extensive powers and jurisdiction conferred upon the Judiciary, would, in the end absorb the powers intended to be reserved to the States, and the people. They expressed their apprehensions in terms t' at can-ma be mistaken. They saw in the Federal Court, a branch of monarchy ingrafted upon our system of government that would extend its roots into all the frame-work of the political fabric, and finally shape nud mould the whole system to its own purposes. They were too well versed in human nature, not to know that the lodgment' of unlimited and irresponsible power, would be ns dangerous in American Judges, as it had proved itself to he iu Koman, German, French or English Judges. They had not forgotten the bloody assizes the trials of Algernon Sydney, of Mussel, Cecil, and oilier victims of atrocious Judges. In the Virginia Convention, the delegates considered the constitution section by seciion, line by line. When the second section of the third article fixing the jurisdiction of the Federal Courts was read. George Mason rose in his place, and asked the delegates, "attentively to consider, the extent of the powers they were about to surrender, and if there was any limit to the jurisdiction of the Supreme Court, and to the number ot tribunals inferior to the Supreme Court that Congress might establish." He used these words: " am greatly mistaken if there be any limitation whatever, with respect to the nature and jurisdiction of these courts" and in the same connection, he says further: " U'Af n tee consider Ihe naturt of thene Court, tee must coa- cficre lhat their effect and operation will bt utterly to drnlroy the Nate i.oivniiMeiiM. ror tiu-y win misiuy tneir own Courts, and you can make no law to counteract them. The dis crimination, therelore, between their judtciul power, and that of the Stales, exists only in mime. If the State iudi- catorie are not to lie entrusted with the administration of common justice, much less ought the State Governments to be entrusted w ith I tie powers of legislation. The piii.noi, pi.b goes to Ihe dentntption of the Uyitation of the States. J am of opinion UuU it vill drntroy the State Uoeemmentn, what-ever may hare lieen the intention. James Madison, the principal architect of the Federal Constitution, undertook to reply to this objection, and said thai the same persons would be Judges in both the Stale and the Federal Courts. In this position ho was strongly sustained by John Marshall, afterwards Chief Justice of this Court. To both of whom Patrick Henry replied: "That the samo persons could not exercise the functions of Stnte and Federal Judges; that the powers and authorities of the two were incompatible; that they could nut servo two masters, struggling for the same object." He further said : "That he regarded the Stati Judiciary as the best protection against tho execution of tyrannical laws; but if their powers were to lie surrendered, too, we have only to sit down quietly and lie oppressed. It was not the extent of jurisdiction only that gave these men alarm; but it was the uncontrolled functions of the Judges themselves. James Madison, John Marshall, and the friends of the Judicial system, defended the plan on the ground that none but pure and incorruptible men would bo appointed Judges. Mr. Grayson replied to their arguments by saying, that "Such had been the argument In all countries where a concession or power had beeu In agitation. But, that power ought to have such checks and balances as will prevent bad men frum abusing it. It ought to be grin ted on m suppoiiilon that men will be bad, for It may eventually be su. With respect to the Judiciary, my grand objection Is that it will interfere with the State Judiciaries; there being no superintending central Hiwer to keep in order inese iwo couieiiiiiug jurisdictions, mis is an objection which Is unnuswernlile In Its nature. Iu England they have greet courts which have great, and Interfering powers, But the controlliiu power uf Parliament, which Is a central focus, corrects them. But here each party Is to shift for Itself, There is no arbiter or power to correct their Interference. Recurrence can only tie had tothe sword. The State Judiciary Is the principal defense we have. If its iudepeiin'fnco Is to lie destroyed, our only defensive armor is taken from us. Someihiug has been'said of the inde pendence of Hie Federal Judges; I will only observe that It is on as corrupt a basisas the art of mail can place It." Such were the opinions and predictions of those stern old patriots in regard to the evils that must ncocssarily flow from this branch of our reiterative system. Do not the assumptions of the Federal Courts verify the worst of these predictions? Contemplate its history. Did it not, in the case ef Matthew Lyon and others who exercised the inborn right of American citizens; that of expressing their opinions upon the character of publio measures and the merits of the publio men, sustain the odious "alien and sedition laws," by imposing upon Lyon a nno or $1,()(M) and sending him to prison. The Federal Constitution prohibits the issu ing of paper money in the States. This is proven by the terms of the instrument, but if there were any possibility of doubt on tho subject, the "debates' on the clause that "no State should emit bills of credit," und all the best authorities, from Madison to Story, oslnhlish beyond cavil, that the framers of ihe Constitution, and the people who ratified it, intended to cut up hy the roots and prohibit in all future time, the issue and circulation of bank notes. Vet this august body, tho Supreme Court, held, that the men who made the Constitution and the people who ratified it, wero mistaken as to the character of their own work, and accordingly decided that corporation banking by Slate authority was perfectly constitutional. That Court thereby became responsible for all tho crimes against property of which paper money has been the instrument. In 1817, Charles Hammond, Federalist as he was, and a member of the Legislature of this State, introduced a bill, which became a law, providing for the taxation of the branch Bank of the United States, then at Chillicothe. The Bank refused the payment of any taxes, though protected by our laws and deriving its profits from our citizens. The oflicers of the Bunk re-sistcd the law. But that gallant old Koman, "Whoso arm failed not in the fight," at the next session of the Assembly, drafted and pushed through the first "crowbar law," and compelled the Bank to pay its just and lawful taxes. The Bank appealed to the judicial tribunal of this State fur protection in its claim to be exempt from the ordinary burdens of taxation. The Supremo Court held, that the Legislation of this State was correct, and sustained the right of the State to. tBX all property protected by its laws. But the Bunk managed to get the case into the Supreme Court at Washington, where Ihe legislation of this State, and the judgment of the Supreme Court of Ohio were, by ihe veriest sophistry, stricken down, and the Bank placed upon the free list of privileged corporations. This was the beginning of the tampering by that tribunal with the sovereignty of this State on questions of domestio policy. Though the people had never given Congress the power to establish a Bank of the United States, the authority could nowhere bo found in the Constitution. Vet this same Supreme Court had solemnly adjudged the act creating the Bank of the United States to be Constitutional. These varied assumptions of jurisdiction, and twisting of the terms of the Constitution, and construing it to meet particular cases, aroused Jefferson from his retirement, who labored unceasingly the remainder of his days, to procure such further amendments to. the Constitution as would limit the jurisdiction of this Court, and make the Judges directly responsible tothe people, for an honest discharge of their duties. The Speaker then read from the 7th Volume of Jctfersou B works the following extracts: Kxlracl from a letter to Mr. Jarrit, dated Montkello, September, '28, Ih.'ll. "You seem, ill pages SI and 14S, to consider the Judgus as the ultimate arbiters of all constitutional questions a very ilungerous doctrine indi-eil, and one which would place us under tho despotism of an oligarchy. Our Judges are as honest as other men, and not more so. They have, with of hers, the same pass on for party, for power, and the privileges of their corps. Their maxim is, bmi judecit est ampliare jurintictionem,' and their power the more dangerous as they are in office for life, and not responsible as ths other functionaries are, to the elective ccmtr.il Ths Constitution has erected no such single tribunal, knowing that, to whatever hands contided, with the corruptions of time and party, its members would become despots. It has more wisely made all the departments co-equal and co-sovereign within themselves." 11' the Legislature fails to pass laws lor a census, for paying the judges and other officers of the Government, for establishing a militia, for naturalization, as prism 1ml by the Constitution, ur if they foil to meet in Congress, the judge cunuot issue their nuin-if'imns to them; it' the President lulls to supply the place of a Judge, toappoint other civil or militury oflicers, to issue requisite commissions, the judges cannot force him. They can issue their mamtamm or diittrinytu to no executive ur legislative officer, to enforce the fulliluient of their official duties, any more than the President ur Legislature may Issue orders to the judges or their officers." Urtructjrom a letter to ThomaM Richie, dated Monticello, December 'ib, 1WO. "Thejudiclary of the United States is ths subtile serps of sappers and miners constantly working under ground to undei initio the fouudations of our confederate fabric. They are construing our Constitution from a co-ordiuutiuu of a general and special government, to a general and supreme one alone." - IssUr lo Juilam J-Amsom. dated ISotdicillo. March 4, lltt.1. "I cannot lay down my pen without recurring to one of the subjects of my former letter, lor, In truth, there is no danger 1 apprehend so much as t he consolidation of our Government by the noiseless, and therelore unalariuing, instrumentality of the Supreme Court. This is the form in which Federalism now arrays itself, and consolidation is the present principle of disiitictiou between Republicans snd pseudo-Republicans, but real Federalists." t.llra'1 jrom a ItUtr to Archibald Threat, dated Monttcello, Juunury 19, "The legislative and executivo branches may sometimes err, but elections and dependence will brinicthem to riuliis. Thejudiclary brunch Is ths instrument which, working like gravity, without intermission, is to press us at last into one consolidated mass. Against this I kuow no one who, equally with Judge Roane himself possesses the power and the courage to make resistance; and to him 1 look, and have long looked, as our strongest bulwark. If Congress fails to shield the States from danger su palpuldo slid so imminent, the States must shield themselves, aud meet the invader foot to foot. This Is already half done by Colonel Taylor's book, because a conviction that we are right ac complishes half the difficulty of correcting wrong. This book is the most ellectuul retraction uf our Government to its original principles which has ever yet been sent by Heaven tu our aid. Every State iu the Union should give a copy to every member they elect, as a staudiug Instruction, ami ours should set the example. Extract from a letter to Edtmrd LiriiajMon, Eq., tUded Mon-ticello, March 25, 1825 "One single object, If your provision attains it, will entitle you tu the endless grutiiudo of society that of re straining judges from usurping legislation. And with no body of men is this restraint more wanting than with the jiutgesoi wnut is commonly caueu our lioueral Govern incut, but what 1 call our foreign department. They are practicing on the Constitution by inferences, aualogies, und sophisms, as they would on an ordinary law." Extract from a teller to Vharlee Hammond, datetl Monticello, Anoutt 18, 1821. "It has long, however, been my opinion, and I have nev-shruiik from its expression, (although I do nut choose to put it into a newspaper, nor, like a Priam In armor, olfer myself its champion,) that the germ of dissolution hi our Federal Government is iu the Constitution of the Federal judiciary an irresponsible body (for impeachment is scarcely a scarecrow,) working like gravity by night and by day, gaming a little to-day and a little to-uiormw, and advancing its noislcHs step like a thief, over the Held of ju- risdictiou, until all shall be' usurped from the States, and the government of all lie consolidated into one." Extract from a letter to William T. Harry, dated Monticello, July -i, IHi-i. "We already see the power, installed for life, responsible to no authuriiy, advancing with a noisless and steady (iiu-e tothe great olijeetof consolidation. The fouudations are already deeply laid, by their decisions, for the annihilation of constitutional Stnte rights, nud the reinuval of every check, every counterpoise, to the engulphing puwer ot winch themselves are to make a sovereign part. If ever this vast country is brought under a single Government, it will be one of the most ex tensive corruption, inditlerentanil incapable ut wholesome cure over so wide n spread of surface. This will not be borne, and you will have to choose between reformation and revolution. If 1 know the spirit of this country, the one or the other is inevitable. Before the canker is become inveterate, beforo its venom has readied much of the body poli-tic as to go iH'yond control, a remedy should lie applied. L t the fiiuire appointments of judges be for FOURor SIX years, and renewable by the President and Senate. This will bring their conduct, at regular periods, under revision and probation, and may keep tliein in equipoise lietwoon the general and sjH'ciai government. Wo have erred In this siint by copying England, where certainly It is a good thing to have the judges independent of the King. But we have omitted to copy their caution nleo, which makes a judge removable on the address of both legislative Houses. That I here should lie public functionaries Independent of the nation, whatever may lie their demerit, is a solecism, in a Republic, of the first order of absurdity and inconsistency. I have thus largely cited the opinions of Mr. Jefferson, because he is regarded as the wisest statesman and ablest advocate of dumocratio government, lhat this or any country has yet produced. If we will not hear him, whom shall we hear? If we did not comprehend the nature of American government, in all its branches and ramifications, who does, or will coinniehenil it? Are n t his f a f il apprel e isii nl the ag gressions ot that power mine than renin, ur This Court having annulled the action t,r our Legislalure nud the decisions of the Supremo Court of the Slate to respect lo the authority of the Slate ot tlhio, lo tax the brunches of the United Slates Bank doing business in the State, tho people, in thoir sovereign capacity, placed in ihe Constitution of 1851 the following provision relative to the taxation of banks. Seo. 8 of the XI article: "The General Assembly shall provide hy law for taxing ths notes and bills discounted or purehased, moneys burrowed, snd all other pnqierty, enecte, or dues, of every description (without duductiun) of all banks now existing, or hereafter created, and of all bankers, so that all property employed In Banking shall always bear a burden of taxation equal tu that imposed on individuals. To execute this provision of the Constitution of the State the Legislature has passed two several acts; the first was annulled by the Supreme Court of tho United Slates, and the act lust winter is rendered inoperative through the instrumentality of injunctions issued by the United Stales District Judges. The Supreme Court of this State sustained the Constitution of Ohio and the laws made under it. But the United States Supreme Court assumed a jurisdiction over the oase and reversed the decision of the Supreme Judicial tribunal of this State. So eager was that Court to dabble in the domestic economy of the State of Ohio, that in order to get jurisdiction, in the first instance they assumed that a bank charter was a contraol. Their next shift was to break down one of the well established principles of the common law, that a corporation is an umY artificial legal person, by going back of the bank corporation and noticing a stockholder resident In another State. Having thus usurped jurisdiction, that Court, at a single blow, slrikes down the constitution, laws, nnd adjudications of the Supreme Court this State. It was a day of humiliation and degradation tothe Bench and the people of this State, when a majority of the Supreme Court of Ohio permitted the Federal Court at Washington to enter an order upon its journal commanding the Supreme Judicial tribunal of this State to enter a judgment contrary to its own adjudication, on a purely domestic and statutory question, and to carry such judgment into execution by Federal authority. Verily, this is interfering with our "domestic affairs." The argument made from the Bench by the late Chief Justice Bartley against permitting the Federal Court to issue out such commands, is one of the most dear, luminous, aud convincing expositions of the fallacies and pretexts by which that Court took jurisdiction, and one of the ablest vindications of State Sovereignty yet made by any American Jurist, Forcibly and truthfully the Chief Justioe remarks : , "If the Jsdiclsry of the State be not competent to Inter-nret and enforce tho constitution snd laws of the Slats, especially in regard to mere matters of local State revenue, for the purpose of equalizing the public burdens; if lbs Supreme Court of the United States can, by a writ of error or appeal, take such a case from ths Judicial power of ths State, and upon a mere question of giving a construction to the statutes of Ihe State, not only reverse the Judgment of the Supreme Court of the State, but also use the Judicial power of the State as its agency to enforce Its mandate, the idea of such a thing as Stats sovereignty under our system uf government would be s deceptive fallacy, and tho States of the Union nothing more than mere muuicipsl corporations belonging to a consolidated national government."This General Assembly, at its first session, re-enacted the law of 18(31, to provide for the taxation of the banking capital of the State, in ao' cordunce with the letter end spirit of the constitution. But our act is rendered wholly void, through the instrumentality of the District Judges, who being guided by the decision of the Supreme Court, have issued out their edicts to the County Treasurers, commanding them to abstain from the colled ion of the taxes assessed upon this class of corporations. Thus have the "sappers and miners'' usurped the inherent powers of the people, and laid the sovereignty of this great Slate at their feet. By decisions already made, they have laid the foundation for taking from the control of our Legislature and Judiciary, the three thousand miles of railroad, and all other corporations within our borders, that may happen lo have a stockholder residing in any other State or country.When the English Parliament attempted to deprive our ancestors of this right of imposing their own taxes, they calmly aud respectfully remonstrated, reminding the Crown and Parliament of the dangers of the experiment they were attempting to make; but the appeal was made in vain. Kesort was had to the Inst ne-necessity, that of force. Our present situation is not unlike that of the Colonics in 177U. The United Stales Supreme Court is experimenting upon this State, in the same manner that the Crown experimented upon thcm( They chafed under the menace of a chain, and resislfd before the pressure of the grievance was felt. Can we look quietly on and see the spirit and life of our Constitution crushed out by the strong arm of Federal power 7 No I let us act as becomes the spirit and dignity of this great Btate. - LcU 411 - strike at the root of the evil the Court itself; and not cease our efforts until the power that oppresses us is put upon a basis in harmony with the theory of our government, that of the responsibility of publio functionaries to the people, for an honest and competent discharge of their duties. This branch of monarchy ingrafted into the Federal compact nuiBt be cut up by the roots, or in some wo subjected to the control of that sovereignty which resides in the people, otherwise all the States will be like Ohio dependent provinces. For, Jefferson tells us that "it should be remembered as an axiom of eternal truth in politics, ttiatwhalever power in any Government is independent, is absolute also, in theory only at first, while the spirit of the people is up, but in practice as fast as that relaxes. Indb- PKNDK.M'K CAN HE TRUSTED NO WHERE BUT WITH tiiu people ix mass. They are independent of all but moral law." If we ever intend to act, the time has come. Our sister States before whom we are now degraded, will respect us for it. Let these resolutions be referred to a committee that will make a report on them, which will arotiBe the attention of the people to a sense of their situation, and let an address be prepared upon the grievances of which we complain, to go before the people and Legislatures of all the States as the voice and sentiment of this Stale, and it will weigh heavily as the complaint of the people of one-tenth of the Confederacy. Let such an appeal be made to the people of the entire nation as will awaken them lo an appreciation of their danger. They will readily comprehend the faot that the power which has stricken down the sovereignty of this State, on a question with which the General Government has nothing to do, renders their own liberties insecure. The people of nearly all the States have repudiated the monarchical idea of the life tenure of Judges. It existed only to a very limited extent before the Revolution. Its adoption iu the Federal Constitution was the result of a compromise between the Federalists and the State Rights men. The question was asked in the Federal convention: "What means would secure the best, purest and ablestmen for Judges?" Franklin arose aud answered: "immediate accountability to the people." The samo member asked again: "What provisions were best calculated to preserve these men pure and able when placed iu office?" To which Franklin again replied: "Limited tenures, short periods in office, and immediate accountability to the people." These suggestions of Franklin, the result of his clear understanding, and thorough knowledge of men; are written in every modern State Constitution, and must be written in the Constitution of the United States, otherwise the freedom and sovereignty of the States, will be merged into one great overshadowing national government.

The selection of the piece of ground on which the Slate Fair will bo held next September, was nWle by the Executivo Commiltee, when in session iu this city on Thursday last. The grounds selected, south west, of Putnam, known as " Camp Uoddard," is well adapted to such purposes pronounced by .some of the coinmitico to be equal to any spot on which Ihe State Fair bus ever -been held in Ohio. The means of access will be by the road through Putnam, the road south from the west end of the upper bridge, the road by the present county fair grounds, anil by railroad to a point a short distance from the grounds. In this connection it may not be amiss to say that application has been made to the Board of Public orks, to have the present draw bridges over the canal ut this place constructed wilh double tracks. This ought to have been done at first, as much inconvenience is often experienced for want of another track. But as the bridges now need thorough repairing, or renovating, it is deemed a proper time to have the annoyance or nuisance, removed. We hope this matter will be pressed upon the attention of those having it in charge, until the evil is remedied; nut merely for the convenience of the crowd at the fair in September, but for the accommodation of the citizens generally, not a few of whom know the annoyance they have been subjected to on market days, and on every pub-lio ocoasioB '" """ilfaiBttT'i ri'rr "The Rights of the State and ihe Sovereignly of the People." SPEECH OF ilALlMI LEETE, Of Lawrence County, In the House of Representatives of the State of Ohio, February 14th, 1850. The following preamble and joint resolutions being under consideration: Whereas, The government of the people of the United States is two fold, State and Federal, the powers and limitations of each being defined by written constitutions; tlieseveral Slates having reserved to themselves resjicrt-Ivoly the solo right of sovereign eontnd over all question's relating to their own internal policy nnd domestic interests: And Whereas, The Judicial branch of ths Federal Government has assumed an unwarrantable jurisdiction nnd control over certain provisionsof the Constitution of this State, and the laws made in pursuance thereof, relating to the revenues of the Stnte, whereby the Supreme Court of the United States assumed to revise the adjudicai ions of the supreme t;ourt or tins state; and also, trie. Judges ol the District Courts of the United States, in this State, are iu the habit of obstructing ttie collection of the State revenues, as to an extensive class of proierty within the State, l,y injunctions U)on our revenue oflicers, restraining them in the performance of important duties; And Whereas, The lile tenure of oilice is repugnant to the spirit and fundamental principles of Republican government, w hereby all public oflicers are held responsible by the people, for a faithful and honest discharge of their duties; then-fore, llnolral by the General Amrmbly of the Stale of Ohio, That in their judgmeut, neither theSupVeme Court of the United States, or any other Federal tribunal bus the power to revise the judgment of a Stato Court as to the construction of a statute of any State, or the compatibility of such statute with the Constitution of the State. 2. That our Senators in Congress bo and are hereby instructed, and our Representative rfiUfsted, to bring before Congress, at an early period, and urge the passage of, a proportion to be made to the several Slates to so amend the Constitution of the United States as to secure tothe people of each judicial circuit the election of theJndgeof the Supreme Court or the United States therefor, and to the lieoiile of each judicial district, the United States District judge therefor, and that said Judges bu elected for a term not exceeding nine years. 3. That a committee or three members or this House, ami on the part of the Senate, be nniiointcd to mnkcand publish an address to the peopio of the United Stateson the subject of the foregoing prenmble and resolutions, and to bring the proposition therein contained U'fore the Leg islatures of I he several states for consideration. 4. That the Governor of this Slate heand Is hereby re- quested to forward copies of said preamble and resolutions loeacll ncuaior ami mi'moer 01 uongrcss rrom nils aiaie, and to the Governors of the several States respectively. Mr. Lecte snid : Mr. Speaker As the author of these resolu tions, I teel called upon to urge some consider tinns why they should be adopted, and will briefly consider the character and functions of the judicial branch of the federal Government. Its umimtteil powers, Us innovations upon the riirhts of the people of tho whole country, its aggressions upon the Constitution and laws of the Slate ot Ulno, ami the means or redress, in order to discover the powers and duties respect ively of the two systems of government, under which we live, it will be necessary to take e momentary glance at our federative system. When the thirteen colonies, separately clinr teredby a succession of British Kings, assunud to themselves, respectively, tho transcenditnt powers of sovereignty, they were independent or each oiner, nnu like so many separate and dislinct nations. During the Revolution each sustained its own troops. They wero equal co-sovereignties. It is trae thev had united to gether in what was known as a Federal League, tor purposes ot consultation and concert of notion. But it was not in the power of the Con' federacy tocompel,orbind any oneof itsmeinhbrs to do, or lo abstain from the performance of any particular act. ling League, however, hail suf ficient force to carry the people of the Colonics through a period of revolution and reformation. When the independence of all the Colonies bud been at last established and recogniied by the lending powers of the world, the statesmen of that period deemed it necessary that a new fed eration should be created, having some general and yet specifio powers to supervise the rela tions between the people and foreign powers, and also to preserve domestio tranquility. Ac cordingly the several independent and sovereign nations appointed delegates lo frame and adjust a Federal League. They met In Convention at rhiladelphia in 17e'J. That Convention was composed of the principal statesmen in all the States. Their labors resulted iu the formation of that f'e'lerul compact known as the Constitution of tho United States. The legislators of 178'J wero imbued with the great ideas that called this (Jovernment into being. It was an experiment, but those who entered upon it, were not afraid of new experiments when founded on the principles of right, and approved by the sober convictions of reason. They were aware that all that wus valuable in life, the achievements of scionce and tho discoveries in art were but the varied results of this distinguishing attribute of man. Tboy were bold innovators, not afraid to act. Iheir work is now before the world, not in the embryo form of an ill-conceived and doubtful experiment, but in the beautiful, grand maturity of established fact attested by more than sixty years of practical experience, and witnessed throughout its progress by an admiring world. Palriotic, great and good as the men of 1789 unquestionably were, they did not, and could not cast the full horoscope. In the brightest moments of their patriotic hopes they did not look ;o an extension of the confederacy, over the then unknown regions to the westward of the Mississippi; they did not contemplate the rise of Anglo American Empire along the shores of the Pacific and around tho mouths of the great Father of waters, and southward to the Rio Grande. They made a confederacy adapted to the thirteen colonics, and to the six States that might be formed out of the then North-western Territory. They delegated to the Federal Government, or compact, authority to do certain things; prohibited the several Slates from doing certain things; and, as they believed, created a federal compact possessed of certain definite, limited powers, that were expressly defined and limited by the very terms of the compact itself. Among the powers imparted by the people to the Federation, were those of declaring war, making peace, raising and supporting armies and navies, regulating commerce with foreign nations, establishing a currency and regulating its value, and sundry other lesser powers, but these are t he chief or principal. All powers not given to the federal compact, were reserved respectively to the States or to the people. The power to establish a eurrency, and to regulate its value, was deemed a power appertaining to sovereignty that the uiouey or currency of a country ought to be uniform in its value, and that, therefore, this power the several Slates should surrender to the confederacy at large. This they did in the most unqualified terms: The powers of the Federal Government were distributed into three general divisions: Executive, Legislative and Judicial. The Executive and the Legislative, received the principal share of uttenlion, in the Convention as well as before the Legislatures of the several Slates; but thero were, even then, those who foresaw the dangerous tendency of the powers conferred upon the Federal Judiciary, und who went so fur us to predict that it would become an abtolute sovereignty over the States and the people. In support of this affirmation, let me for a few moments call your attention to the debates in the several States on the third article of the fedoral compact, while the question of its adoption or rejection was pending before them: It is known that, there were two plans of government proposed in the Convention, differing very materially from each other. The plan proposed by Mr. Hamilton, would have created an elective monarchy. Those who were jealous of power and centralization were in the majority and finally agreed upon the plan adopted. The provision relating to the Judiciary did not seem to give so much concern to tho framers of the instrument, as the other provisions fixing the powers of Congress and the executive. But the real statesmen of that age of creativo genius, saw clearly, that the extensive powers and jurisdiction conferred upon the Judiciary, would, in the end absorb the powers intended to be reserved to the States, and the people. They expressed their apprehensions in terms t' at can-ma be mistaken. They saw in the Federal Court, a branch of monarchy ingrafted upon our system of government that would extend its roots into all the frame-work of the political fabric, and finally shape nud mould the whole system to its own purposes. They were too well versed in human nature, not to know that the lodgment' of unlimited and irresponsible power, would be ns dangerous in American Judges, as it had proved itself to he iu Koman, German, French or English Judges. They had not forgotten the bloody assizes the trials of Algernon Sydney, of Mussel, Cecil, and oilier victims of atrocious Judges. In the Virginia Convention, the delegates considered the constitution section by seciion, line by line. When the second section of the third article fixing the jurisdiction of the Federal Courts was read. George Mason rose in his place, and asked the delegates, "attentively to consider, the extent of the powers they were about to surrender, and if there was any limit to the jurisdiction of the Supreme Court, and to the number ot tribunals inferior to the Supreme Court that Congress might establish." He used these words: " am greatly mistaken if there be any limitation whatever, with respect to the nature and jurisdiction of these courts" and in the same connection, he says further: " U'Af n tee consider Ihe naturt of thene Court, tee must coa- cficre lhat their effect and operation will bt utterly to drnlroy the Nate i.oivniiMeiiM. ror tiu-y win misiuy tneir own Courts, and you can make no law to counteract them. The dis crimination, therelore, between their judtciul power, and that of the Stales, exists only in mime. If the State iudi- catorie are not to lie entrusted with the administration of common justice, much less ought the State Governments to be entrusted w ith I tie powers of legislation. The piii.noi, pi.b goes to Ihe dentntption of the Uyitation of the States. J am of opinion UuU it vill drntroy the State Uoeemmentn, what-ever may hare lieen the intention. James Madison, the principal architect of the Federal Constitution, undertook to reply to this objection, and said thai the same persons would be Judges in both the Stale and the Federal Courts. In this position ho was strongly sustained by John Marshall, afterwards Chief Justice of this Court. To both of whom Patrick Henry replied: "That the samo persons could not exercise the functions of Stnte and Federal Judges; that the powers and authorities of the two were incompatible; that they could nut servo two masters, struggling for the same object." He further said : "That he regarded the Stati Judiciary as the best protection against tho execution of tyrannical laws; but if their powers were to lie surrendered, too, we have only to sit down quietly and lie oppressed. It was not the extent of jurisdiction only that gave these men alarm; but it was the uncontrolled functions of the Judges themselves. James Madison, John Marshall, and the friends of the Judicial system, defended the plan on the ground that none but pure and incorruptible men would bo appointed Judges. Mr. Grayson replied to their arguments by saying, that "Such had been the argument In all countries where a concession or power had beeu In agitation. But, that power ought to have such checks and balances as will prevent bad men frum abusing it. It ought to be grin ted on m suppoiiilon that men will be bad, for It may eventually be su. With respect to the Judiciary, my grand objection Is that it will interfere with the State Judiciaries; there being no superintending central Hiwer to keep in order inese iwo couieiiiiiug jurisdictions, mis is an objection which Is unnuswernlile In Its nature. Iu England they have greet courts which have great, and Interfering powers, But the controlliiu power uf Parliament, which Is a central focus, corrects them. But here each party Is to shift for Itself, There is no arbiter or power to correct their Interference. Recurrence can only tie had tothe sword. The State Judiciary Is the principal defense we have. If its iudepeiin'fnco Is to lie destroyed, our only defensive armor is taken from us. Someihiug has been'said of the inde pendence of Hie Federal Judges; I will only observe that It is on as corrupt a basisas the art of mail can place It." Such were the opinions and predictions of those stern old patriots in regard to the evils that must ncocssarily flow from this branch of our reiterative system. Do not the assumptions of the Federal Courts verify the worst of these predictions? Contemplate its history. Did it not, in the case ef Matthew Lyon and others who exercised the inborn right of American citizens; that of expressing their opinions upon the character of publio measures and the merits of the publio men, sustain the odious "alien and sedition laws," by imposing upon Lyon a nno or $1,()(M) and sending him to prison. The Federal Constitution prohibits the issu ing of paper money in the States. This is proven by the terms of the instrument, but if there were any possibility of doubt on tho subject, the "debates' on the clause that "no State should emit bills of credit," und all the best authorities, from Madison to Story, oslnhlish beyond cavil, that the framers of ihe Constitution, and the people who ratified it, intended to cut up hy the roots and prohibit in all future time, the issue and circulation of bank notes. Vet this august body, tho Supreme Court, held, that the men who made the Constitution and the people who ratified it, wero mistaken as to the character of their own work, and accordingly decided that corporation banking by Slate authority was perfectly constitutional. That Court thereby became responsible for all tho crimes against property of which paper money has been the instrument. In 1817, Charles Hammond, Federalist as he was, and a member of the Legislature of this State, introduced a bill, which became a law, providing for the taxation of the branch Bank of the United States, then at Chillicothe. The Bank refused the payment of any taxes, though protected by our laws and deriving its profits from our citizens. The oflicers of the Bunk re-sistcd the law. But that gallant old Koman, "Whoso arm failed not in the fight," at the next session of the Assembly, drafted and pushed through the first "crowbar law," and compelled the Bank to pay its just and lawful taxes. The Bank appealed to the judicial tribunal of this State fur protection in its claim to be exempt from the ordinary burdens of taxation. The Supremo Court held, that the Legislation of this State was correct, and sustained the right of the State to. tBX all property protected by its laws. But the Bunk managed to get the case into the Supreme Court at Washington, where Ihe legislation of this State, and the judgment of the Supreme Court of Ohio were, by ihe veriest sophistry, stricken down, and the Bank placed upon the free list of privileged corporations. This was the beginning of the tampering by that tribunal with the sovereignty of this State on questions of domestio policy. Though the people had never given Congress the power to establish a Bank of the United States, the authority could nowhere bo found in the Constitution. Vet this same Supreme Court had solemnly adjudged the act creating the Bank of the United States to be Constitutional. These varied assumptions of jurisdiction, and twisting of the terms of the Constitution, and construing it to meet particular cases, aroused Jefferson from his retirement, who labored unceasingly the remainder of his days, to procure such further amendments to. the Constitution as would limit the jurisdiction of this Court, and make the Judges directly responsible tothe people, for an honest discharge of their duties. The Speaker then read from the 7th Volume of Jctfersou B works the following extracts: Kxlracl from a letter to Mr. Jarrit, dated Montkello, September, '28, Ih.'ll. "You seem, ill pages SI and 14S, to consider the Judgus as the ultimate arbiters of all constitutional questions a very ilungerous doctrine indi-eil, and one which would place us under tho despotism of an oligarchy. Our Judges are as honest as other men, and not more so. They have, with of hers, the same pass on for party, for power, and the privileges of their corps.

"I cannot lay down my pen without recurring to one of the subjects of my former letter, lor, In truth, there is no danger 1 apprehend so much as t he consolidation of our Government by the noiseless, and therelore unalariuing, instrumentality of the Supreme Court. This is the form in which Federalism now arrays itself, and consolidation is the present principle of disiitictiou between Republicans snd pseudo-Republicans, but real Federalists." t.llra'1 jrom a ItUtr to Archibald Threat, dated Monttcello, Juunury 19, "The legislative and executivo branches may sometimes err, but elections and dependence will brinicthem to riuliis. Thejudiclary brunch Is ths instrument which, working like gravity, without intermission, is to press us at last into one consolidated mass. Against this I kuow no one who, equally with Judge Roane himself possesses the power and the courage to make resistance; and to him 1 look, and have long looked, as our strongest bulwark. If Congress fails to shield the States from danger su palpuldo slid so imminent, the States must shield themselves, aud meet the invader foot to foot. This Is already half done by Colonel Taylor's book, because a conviction that we are right ac complishes half the difficulty of correcting wrong. This book is the most ellectuul retraction uf our Government to its original principles which has ever yet been sent by Heaven tu our aid. Every State iu the Union should give a copy to every member they elect, as a staudiug Instruction, ami ours should set the example. Extract from a letter to Edtmrd LiriiajMon, Eq., tUded Mon-ticello, March 25, 1825 "One single object, If your provision attains it, will entitle you tu the endless grutiiudo of society that of re straining judges from usurping legislation. And with no body of men is this restraint more wanting than with the jiutgesoi wnut is commonly caueu our lioueral Govern incut, but what 1 call our foreign department. They are practicing on the Constitution by inferences, aualogies, und sophisms, as they would on an ordinary law." Extract from a teller to Vharlee Hammond, datetl Monticello, Anoutt 18, 1821. "It has long, however, been my opinion, and I have nev-shruiik from its expression, (although I do nut choose to put it into a newspaper, nor, like a Priam In armor, olfer myself its champion,) that the germ of dissolution hi our Federal Government is iu the Constitution of the Federal judiciary an irresponsible body (for impeachment is scarcely a scarecrow,) working like gravity by night and by day, gaming a little to-day and a little to-uiormw, and advancing its noislcHs step like a thief, over the Held of ju- risdictiou, until all shall be' usurped from the States, and the government of all lie consolidated into one." Extract from a letter to William T. Harry, dated Monticello, July -i, IHi-i. "We already see the power, installed for life, responsible to no authuriiy, advancing with a noisless and steady (iiu-e tothe great olijeetof consolidation. The fouudations are already deeply laid, by their decisions, for the annihilation of constitutional Stnte rights, nud the reinuval of every check, every counterpoise, to the engulphing puwer ot winch themselves are to make a sovereign part. If ever this vast country is brought under a single Government, it will be one of the most ex tensive corruption, inditlerentanil incapable ut wholesome cure over so wide n spread of surface. This will not be borne, and you will have to choose between reformation and revolution. If 1 know the spirit of this country, the one or the other is inevitable. Before the canker is become inveterate, beforo its venom has readied much of the body poli-tic as to go iH'yond control, a remedy should lie applied. L t the fiiuire appointments of judges be for FOURor SIX years, and renewable by the President and Senate. This will bring their conduct, at regular periods, under revision and probation, and may keep tliein in equipoise lietwoon the general and sjH'ciai government. Wo have erred In this siint by copying England, where certainly It is a good thing to have the judges independent of the King. But we have omitted to copy their caution nleo, which makes a judge removable on the address of both legislative Houses. That I here should lie public functionaries Independent of the nation, whatever may lie their demerit, is a solecism, in a Republic, of the first order of absurdity and inconsistency. I have thus largely cited the opinions of Mr. Jefferson, because he is regarded as the wisest statesman and ablest advocate of dumocratio government, lhat this or any country has yet produced. If we will not hear him, whom shall we hear? If we did not comprehend the nature of American government, in all its branches and ramifications, who does, or will coinniehenil it? Are n t his f a f il apprel e isii nl the ag gressions ot that power mine than renin, ur This Court having annulled the action t,r our Legislalure nud the decisions of the Supremo Court of the Slate to respect lo the authority of the Slate ot tlhio, lo tax the brunches of the United Slates Bank doing business in the State, tho people, in thoir sovereign capacity, placed in ihe Constitution of 1851 the following provision relative to the taxation of banks. Seo. 8 of the XI article: "The General Assembly shall provide hy law for taxing ths notes and bills discounted or purehased, moneys burrowed, snd all other pnqierty, enecte, or dues, of every description (without duductiun) of all banks now existing, or hereafter created, and of all bankers, so that all property employed In Banking shall always bear a burden of taxation equal tu that imposed on individuals. To execute this provision of the Constitution of the State the Legislature has passed two several acts; the first was annulled by the Supreme Court of tho United Slates, and the act lust winter is rendered inoperative through the instrumentality of injunctions issued by the United Stales District Judges. The Supreme Court of this State sustained the Constitution of Ohio and the laws made under it. But the United States Supreme Court assumed a jurisdiction over the oase and reversed the decision of the Supreme Judicial tribunal of this State. So eager was that Court to dabble in the domestic economy of the State of Ohio, that in order to get jurisdiction, in the first instance they assumed that a bank charter was a contraol. Their next shift was to break down one of the well established principles of the common law, that a corporation is an umY artificial legal person, by going back of the bank corporation and noticing a stockholder resident In another State. Having thus usurped jurisdiction, that Court, at a single blow, slrikes down the constitution, laws, nnd adjudications of the Supreme Court this State. It was a day of humiliation and degradation tothe Bench and the people of this State, when a majority of the Supreme Court of Ohio permitted the Federal Court at Washington to enter an order upon its journal commanding the Supreme Judicial tribunal of this State to enter a judgment contrary to its own adjudication, on a purely domestic and statutory question, and to carry such judgment into execution by Federal authority. Verily, this is interfering with our "domestic affairs." The argument made from the Bench by the late Chief Justice Bartley against permitting the Federal Court to issue out such commands, is one of the most dear, luminous, aud convincing expositions of the fallacies and pretexts by which that Court took jurisdiction, and one of the ablest vindications of State Sovereignty yet made by any American Jurist, Forcibly and truthfully the Chief Justioe remarks : , "If the Jsdiclsry of the State be not competent to Inter-nret and enforce tho constitution snd laws of the Slats, especially in regard to mere matters of local State revenue, for the purpose of equalizing the public burdens; if lbs Supreme Court of the United States can, by a writ of error or appeal, take such a case from ths Judicial power of ths State, and upon a mere question of giving a construction to the statutes of Ihe State, not only reverse the Judgment of the Supreme Court of the State, but also use the Judicial power of the State as its agency to enforce Its mandate, the idea of such a thing as Stats sovereignty under our system uf government would be s deceptive fallacy, and tho States of the Union nothing more than mere muuicipsl corporations belonging to a consolidated national government."This General Assembly, at its first session, re-enacted the law of 18(31, to provide for the taxation of the banking capital of the State, in ao' cordunce with the letter end spirit of the constitution. But our act is rendered wholly void, through the instrumentality of the District Judges, who being guided by the decision of the Supreme Court, have issued out their edicts to the County Treasurers, commanding them to abstain from the colled ion of the taxes assessed upon this class of corporations. Thus have the "sappers and miners'' usurped the inherent powers of the people, and laid the sovereignty of this great Slate at their feet. By decisions already made, they have laid the foundation for taking from the control of our Legislature and Judiciary, the three thousand miles of railroad, and all other corporations within our borders, that may happen lo have a stockholder residing in any other State or country.When the English Parliament attempted to deprive our ancestors of this right of imposing their own taxes, they calmly aud respectfully remonstrated, reminding the Crown and Parliament of the dangers of the experiment they were attempting to make; but the appeal was made in vain. Kesort was had to the Inst ne-necessity, that of force. Our present situation is not unlike that of the Colonics in 177U. The United Stales Supreme Court is experimenting upon this State, in the same manner that the Crown experimented upon thcm( They chafed under the menace of a chain, and resislfd before the pressure of the grievance was felt. Can we look quietly on and see the spirit and life of our Constitution crushed out by the strong arm of Federal power 7 No I let us act as becomes the spirit and dignity of this great Btate. - LcU 411 - strike at the root of the evil the Court itself; and not cease our efforts until the power that oppresses us is put upon a basis in harmony with the theory of our government, that of the responsibility of publio functionaries to the people, for an honest and competent discharge of their duties. This branch of monarchy ingrafted into the Federal compact nuiBt be cut up by the roots, or in some wo subjected to the control of that sovereignty which resides in the people, otherwise all the States will be like Ohio dependent provinces. For, Jefferson tells us that "it should be remembered as an axiom of eternal truth in politics, ttiatwhalever power in any Government is independent, is absolute also, in theory only at first, while the spirit of the people is up, but in practice as fast as that relaxes. Indb- PKNDK.M'K CAN HE TRUSTED NO WHERE BUT WITH tiiu people ix mass. They are independent of all but moral law." If we ever intend to act, the time has come. Our sister States before whom we are now degraded, will respect us for it. Let these resolutions be referred to a committee that will make a report on them, which will arotiBe the attention of the people to a sense of their situation, and let an address be prepared upon the grievances of which we complain, to go before the people and Legislatures of all the States as the voice and sentiment of this Stale, and it will weigh heavily as the complaint of the people of one-tenth of the Confederacy. Let such an appeal be made to the people of the entire nation as will awaken them lo an appreciation of their danger. They will readily comprehend the faot that the power which has stricken down the sovereignty of this State, on a question with which the General Government has nothing to do, renders their own liberties insecure. The people of nearly all the States have repudiated the monarchical idea of the life tenure of Judges. It existed only to a very limited extent before the Revolution. Its adoption iu the Federal Constitution was the result of a compromise between the Federalists and the State Rights men. The question was asked in the Federal convention: "What means would secure the best, purest and ablestmen for Judges?" Franklin arose aud answered: "immediate accountability to the people." The samo member asked again: "What provisions were best calculated to preserve these men pure and able when placed iu office?" To which Franklin again replied: "Limited tenures, short periods in office, and immediate accountability to the people." These suggestions of Franklin, the result of his clear understanding, and thorough knowledge of men; are written in every modern State Constitution, and must be written in the Constitution of the United States, otherwise the freedom and sovereignty of the States, will be merged into one great overshadowing national government. A Woman with two'llusbans.-Will she do with theml -What About seven years ago, a young women, the daughter of a tavern keeper en Market street, followed a nalurnl inclination in the hey day of youth and got married to a gentleman of Ihe green Isle of Erin. They lived together liap-pily enough for some time, when the husban ami the wiles father had a lulling out, aviolent quarrel, and the newly made husban took tip his bed and walked to Jericho or some other unknown rengon. Two years after his departure, and when allhopeBofever seeing him were despaired of, the blooming widow took into herself as hus-banda phleginafio Teuton, who has since occupied that relation with credit to himself and pleasure to the wife of his bosom and all connected with her. Alas, that the even tenor of their quiet lives should have been disturbed. But so it was on Friday morning. The long absence and ez lied son of the Emerald Isle returned and claimed as his lawful wife, the girl he left behind him. Her present husband refused to relinquish hie claim, and a soene of some interest ia said to have traspired. The Irishman was regaling a orowd of eager listeners in the Market on Friday afternoon withy a history of his wrongs and what he intended 'to do in the premises stated. Wheeling intelligence. ! )
